By The Astrologer, Kelli Fox Restrictive Saturn goes direct today, putting added emphasis on financial responsibility. This isn't a good time to make lavish purchases. Having money in reserve will be helpful in covering emergency expenses. It can also provide relief from stress. Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces soon may be especially grateful they exercised restraint. In addition, luxurious Venus forms a square to Saturn. Although temptations will beckon from store windows, it's best to make existing resources stretch as far as they possibly can. Romantic relationships may feel strain, thanks to this added emphasis on frugality. Resist the temptation to snipe at a beloved partner when forced to stick to a budget. Looking ahead, the optimistic Sun will form a trine to unorthodox Uranus. Being a refreshing alternative to the status quo will pay off handsomely. Don't blend in; stand out. If it's your birthday today, the year ahead may teach you to live on less money. Your income won't necessarily decrease, but you might feel overwhelmed by all the excess in your life. Learning to stretch your resources will give you a deeper appreciation for what you have. Kelli Fox is a certified astrologer, co-founder of The Astrologer Inc. and Lifescript horoscope expert.
